Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1382-1396, June 2025.A first herbivore attack primes direct and indirect defences of newly formed oak leaves and, the specific display of defence priming is regulated by rhythmic growth, and modulated by the interaction with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma croceum. Therefore, the priming memory in oaks can be transmitted to the next growth cycle. GC, growth cycle; SF,

Population Regulation of Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) by Parasitoids: Does Spatial Density Dependence Lead to Temporal Density Dependence? [PDF]
, 2017 In 1987, four gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, (L.) densities were established in eight 1-ha plots in western Massachusetts, ranging from 50,000 to 1.4 M neonates per hectare.

Evidence of Spatial Synchrony in the Spread of an Invasive Forest Pest
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.Although synchrony in population growth rates and abundance is ubiquitous across many taxa, this study demonstrates a new manifestation of this phenomenon, that of spatial synchrony in range expansion. Just as climatic drivers can produce synchrony in population growth or abundance, we show that synchronised fluctuations in seasonal climate conditions,

A Comparison of Two Methods of Quantifying Mating Success in Low Density Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar) Populations [PDF]
, 2018 The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) is a defoliating pest native to Europe and invasive to North America. The gypsy moth is subject to depressed mating success in low density populations, which may restrict spread of the forest pest.
